First off, I love the style and feel of this phone. Android is an awesome OS (sorry Apple, I am a PC guy). The slide QWERTY keyboard is actually pretty easy to use, considering the size of the phone. I have fairly large fingers. Downside.... BATTERY SUCKS!!! I understand that there are higher capacity batteries out there that will extend the standby time of this phone, but it shouldn't be coming out of the box with such a pathetic excuse of battery standby time. I cannot get a full day of less than normal use without it almost completely draining. And I am using the app Juice Defender. I want to be able to use all the features on my phone all day, and not have to shut off WiFi, or disable data transfers, or dim the screen next to notthing just to achieve a whole days charge. Bad Sony Ericcson, very bad...Read full review
In general it seems ok. Some comments. Against:The menus seem to be not too easy to use. Battery lasts very little when talking. Exchange of batteries frequenty and can sometimes be everyday. Thats the reason why it comes with two batteries. Interface of cell programs with SD card seems not direct or has problems. Pros: Price very nice. Two batteries. I found beaty, and externally the quality of box seems high. Small, light.
The Argos mini hiphone KA08 unlocked is a cute smaller look-a-like of the Apple touch iphone. This little phone has been dubbed the "mini knock off version of the iphone" and for a reason. Though similar features on this phone resemble those of the iphone there really is no mini iphone so really it's not a knock off. Unfortunately when I bought this phone I had not read any of the reviews on it. Because if the phone does not have Java capability on it all it is then is just a regular cell phone. When you don't have Java you can't put apps on it or download games, in fact all you can do is make phone calls, send texts, change wallpaper and only have 5 places for your personalized ring tones. I like small phone because it's easier to text for me, but the keyboard for texting on this phone really is that small where I have to use the tips of my thumb nails to hit the little keys. That is of course if you download the Java app for a bigger keyboard but if it doesn't have java already on the phone then no. I really don't need a lot of my cell phones so I' am not as bothered by not being able to use new apps or more games, but the keyboard is a little uncomfortable to used at times. You really need to read the reviews of these phones to learn tips and tricks. I am satisfied by this purchase though, just a warning to other buyers that the phone cannot carry apple apps.Read full review
I bought the CECT KA08 one month ago and was at first impressed by the small size-it looks like a mini iPhone. However, my fascination soon ended when I started using it. The reception was not bad, but the interface was horrible, specifically b/c it is so small. It comes with a mini stylus, which you will HAVE to use when texting. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE IF YOU WANT TO TEXT! It is absoutely HORRIBLE. Picture entry keys the size of a pinhead, and just imagine how difficult it is to text without the stylus. I used the backspace button the most, but b/c it's on the far-right side of the screen, I often times ended up selecting the adjacent key instead (how ironic!) It has no features that I need in a phone except maybe to answer and dial calls. But even navigating the address book is a chore that takes way too long. DURABILITY: Horrible! The screen broke after 3 days because I walked into a door with it in my pocket, and the side of the screen got cracked. At that point, I could only accept of reject phone calls-nothing else. The seller was happy to replace it (I upgraded to the I9+ instead for an additional $30, but even that is pretty bad). The KA08 size is perfect for carrying in a pocket and the battery has a pretty good lifespan of roughly 6 hours. Overall, I would NOT recommed this phone. It's good in novelty, but its applications are bordering on unbearable.Read full review
The phone arrived from Hong Kong via USPS faster than expected. The phone is everything as described. Do not think you are getting an I-Phone, you're not. The instructions you would expect were the worst I've encountered. Went to the internet to find better with little luck. Trying to set up speed dial is impossible (for me). The phone comes with two batteries because it drains batteries quickly. The charging cord is extremely short. The phone has good sound and I've only dropped one call that I will blame on T-Mobile. As long as it lasts me until November I can live with it.
